Hello Trailblazer Families:
BE PROACTIVE:
- What a great week! I spent quite a bit of time in classrooms this week and the kids are engaged and working on increasing their learning. Remember, every day a child is at school, they are building the foundation for the rest of his/her life. If a child misses 2 days a month, that totals 20 days -- almost 10% of the school year! That 10% may not sound like a lot, but in the learning that occurs in the elementary level; it is crucial! Think of education like a house that is being built -- would you want 10% of your foundation missing? Me, neither! We do know students have illnesses and will miss occasionally. However, we do want to work to meet our goal of 96.5% attendance for the year. We are off to a good start, let's keep it up!
- Don't forget, we will be out of school September 4 for Labor Day and September 5 for our first Bullitt Day (formerly known as a Teacher Planning Day). The doors will open bright and early at 8:30 at September 6.
- PICTURE DAY is September 7! Please don't wear GREEN! The photographer uses green screen technology and we want to see more than a floating head. :)
- Students who have applied for the Student Lighthouse Team will have interviews on Friday, September 8. Those students will receive a note on Wednesday with his/her scheduled time. We have several applicants for the 10 open positions. Any student who does not make the Lighthouse Team will be assigned to various committees or leadership roles throughout the school.
- From the FRC: Permission slips are coming home Wednesday for FREE vision
and hearing screens to be completed at school on Sept. 11. If your child
needs a vision exam for school, this counts! It is always a good idea to
have regular exams since children grow and change so quickly. We may be
able to identify an issue before it becomes a problem that interferes with
their education.
